If you just crush up the flake in your palm and do it in the tank they will eat it. That's what I do for my danio erythromicron. They are pretty small but they have no problem. Good choice of fish btw. Chilis are awesome little fish

Yes my cats have attacked several bags of things and once they knocked off a whole thing of veggie sticks the dogs are them all. I never found so much as a crumb.

They also took my shrimp food that I ordered, but I found that in front of their food/water bowl with the plastic bag ripped. And broke 4 out of 6 API test kit test tubes.

What size golden pearls would be best, 200-300 microns or bigger/smaller?

Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll definitely have to try out the catfish sticks!

What about for the tetras and rasbora? Would flakes or pellets be better?

Seriously, they are fantastic. As soon as they sink, they're out munching and my sterbai scatter when I come near the tank.

You have to try their new catfish sticks. My sterbai go nuts. My shrimp love them too

I'm ordering some miscellaneous supplies from KensFish and I'm about $20 short on receiving free shipping. So I figured I'd buy some fish food for my future fish*, but I have no idea what to get.

(*I won't be able to start cycling my tank for another two weeks, so it's very likely it will be at least a month before I'll actually have fish to feed. I'm assuming I'll have to freeze whatever food I get until then.)
